More Customers

"The upgrade to Oracle 12c and the multitenant capabilities have given us a huge amount of benefits. We've been able to massively decrease our hardware budget—by about 75 percent. Our consolidation ratio on Database is about five times what we were looking at previously. We've been able to significantly reduce the time, effort and, therefore, cost associated with standing up new environments and making clones for existing customer environments."

"Oracle Multitenant is a step forward in that it gives us more control over our schemas and applications; to be able to isolate them, give definitive statements on how performance is working and be able to manage more databases better."

"Data redaction will help us mask displayed data and we don't have to modify the application code. This means that time to market is a lot quicker and the resources required to secure sensitive data are dramatically reduced."

"Oracle Multitenant and cloud provide us with that option to be able to keep growing, keep meeting our business needs using what we've already vested in."

—James Lui, Senior Oracle Applications DBA, Aramark

Aramark

"It's a one-shot, unplug it, plug it in someplace else, and now it's up and running. That gives us a lot more time to actually focus on what the business needs us to do. For us, Oracle Multitenant actually is going to be a major administrative cost saver."

—James Lui, Senior Oracle Applications DBA

"With Oracle Database 12c, we can now copy an entire database from one instance to another using full transportable export/import. This minimizes the downtime when migrating clients’ databases."

—Julian Dontcheff, Principal

EASYTEAM

"With Oracle Database 12c and its unique multitenant architecture, Oracle changes consolidation and management of user data to make it simpler and more effective. This reduces maintenance time, accelerates projects and improves TCO. Other new features like "Heat Map" and "Adaptive Cursor Sharing" help to reduce storage costs and improve performance."

—Thomas Bordeau, Principal Consultant

Digora

"We are very enthusiastic about all the new features of Oracle Database 12c—our customers will be quickly interested by the new multitenant architecture. Using a multitenant container database and pluggable databases will help them to decrease the TCO of their Oracle Databases."

IOUG

"With Oracle Database 12c I see the opportunity to consolidate more using pluggable databases and provide an environment that's basically separated, security-wise as well as maintenance-wise. This makes it easy for DBAs to manage more databases, but still maintain a high level of security."

—Michelle Malcher, President of IOUG and Oracle Ace

Enkitec

"Being able to unplug and move databases around, will definitely be useful in more consolidated environments. This will help with customers that are doing traditional database consolidations and give them an extra layer of security that they wouldn’t get from schema consolidation."

Logical Technology

"Oracle Multitenant allows us to consolidate hundreds of databases onto an Oracle Real Application Clusters environment whilst guaranteeing the separation that drove us to put them on separate servers previously."

—Martin Power, GM, Oracle Professional Practices

Solix Technologies Inc.

"Solix EDMS platform can now leverage the data optimization features in Oracle Database 12c like heat maps, in-database archiving, partitioning, and compression along with Solix application-awareness to enable Oracle database customers to automatically and intelligently triage hot,warm and cold data patterns and drive ILM policies that help in performance and storage management and also meet evolving compliance requirements."
